Re: 1928 flywheel
In 1959, when I was a poor apprentice, I restored an Ariel MF.
One of the flywheels had a crack from the big end out to the edge. I turned some mms off the diameter of the flywheel, and made a steel rim from flat iron, which I turned to size and shrank onto the flywheel.
Then the crack was under control.

Re: 1928 flywheel
Most flywheels crack between the two holes, as the tapered pins force them apart if overtightened. Very difficult to repair satisfactorily.. Nev
